Her life appears idyllic \u2014 complete with a devoted husband (Eric Rahill), a fiercely loyal best friend (Kate Berlant), and a pantry stocked with woman\u2011owned, ethically sourced chili crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as professional pressures mount and the spotlight intensifies, Maddie\u2019s carefully curated world begins to crack. A long\u2011buried secret from her troubled past threatens to resurface, pushing her into a spiraling collision of satire, melodrama, and emotional reckoning. With daring tonal shifts and intimate performances, <em>Maddie\u2019s Secret<\/em> announces a striking new voice in contemporary cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>John Early<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kate Berlant<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eric Rahill<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Claudia O&#8217;Doherty<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conner O&#8217;Malley<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanessa Bayer<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chris Bauer<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kristen Johnston<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Filmmakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Written and Directed by:<\/strong> John Early<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Produced by:<\/strong> Harris Mayersohn, Luca Intili, John Early<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Executive Producers:<\/strong> Chris Quintos Cathcart, Tyler Boehm, Hannah Dweck, Ted Schaefer, Sarah Herrman, Deb Tam, Matthew Rosenthal, Marissa Heringer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-691x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-691x1024.jpg 691w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-768x1138.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-1037x1536.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-1382x2048.jpg 1382w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-660x978.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/maddies-secret-poster-scaled.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new official trailer for Maddie\u2019s Secret \u2014 the critically acclaimed directorial debut of comedian, writer, and actor John Early \u2014 is now available.
